And before you bring gun control into this thread, answer this one question, what law would have prevented any of these recent shootings?
Despite the fact that countries with more guns tend to have FAR MORE gun related incidents and deaths.
Despite the fact that, even if everyone had a gun, then those who wish to kill others with said gun to cause terrorism will simply get MORE POWERFUL GUNS than everybody else.
Despite the fact that studies show countries WITHOUT GUNS have FAR LESS crime related deaths than their opposites.
And, yet, all of these talking points are muted when conservatives and NRA reps bring up "mental health" and "who's behind the gun" trump cards. These are no longer intelligent counter-arguments. They are deadly excuses.
An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life. - Robert Heinlen

Someone who can kill (anything) with no remorse is a bad person.
And no gun control would not have done a thing in any of these cases. Legally obtained or not, these shooters planned this well ahead of time. Obtaining the tools to do what they planned is only a minor technicality. If you think about that for a minute, you will understand.

I think we should ban cancer,'even better get people to need a permit before they get cancer, makes so much sense.

It should be noted that both of these Muslims were legal US citizens (they were born here too) and obtained their rifles legally.
